Domenico Piscitelli was one of the last
switchblade makers in Frosolone.

Great info. There is very little data (online at least) About Piscitelli.

Re: Old Frosolone campobasso,NOW AT AUCTION

I think given the few times these knives come around to auction, This auction will help give a clearer definition of todays market value. I put it at no reserve because, frankly, whether it sells for $600 or $3500, I will be happy either way. It was an exciting find but it needs a collectors home. I...

Frosolone Switchblade

I thought I would add my 10" Frosolone pics here as there's not too many pics of these on the web. That way it can be referenced in the future.

Re: Old Frosolone campobasso, more info?

As far as restrictions it depends on the laws in your state. A lot of states have recently changed laws regarding knives so I wouldn't worry about it. I wouldn't worry about it anyway just don't get stupid with it, leave it at home, don't put it in your car and forget about it. Yeah I don't think I...

Re: Old Frosolone campobasso, more info?

Thanks guys. It was exciting to find. I was just snooping around with a flashlight. I'll leave the cleaning up to someone more experienced. My thought was it's a fairly early model as there is no metal at the base like most have. Are these still under restrictions? Anyone have any educational links ...
